Which radars cover Halls?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMRX (Knoxville, TN), about 30 miles east-northeast. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Halls | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMRX Knoxville, TN | 30 mi east-northeast | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJKL Jackson, KY | 110 mi north-northeast | 11,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGSP Greer, SC | 127 mi southeast | 13,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
